Nice slit drum. Heck looked good too with just the face. Minimal. I believe the PNG's would burn out the centers. Not sure how they did it though.

Very clean! You could probably drill it out from underneath then put a wood plug in the bottom?

Smooooooooooooooth looking tiki. Very nice. Wendy

JT- if I attempted to burn the inside I would probably end up with a pile of ash :)
MDM- way to much work :)
W- :)

Clever.
Bet you'd like one of those wood burners.
They have all the lil tips of different shapes.

Looks great so far, you gonna paint yours too? I love a little paint!

Thanks
Yep :)

Dang, Jon, just got caught up- dig that Kapu carve- very fluid from bottom- and impressive letter carving.

As you know, I'm not a huge fan of Disney stuff (might say some of their stuff is "kapu," but your carve is epic. Great job!

Thanks Ano
It's a fun 1

Time to play with paint

That's plumb sweet!

Good Job Man

You may wanna consider taking a wire brush and lightly scrub the entire thing down. Then a very thin, light coat of dark brown over it to get into the areas the brush removed. Will give it an older weathered look and not so new and fresh...

Just a thought.

Erich

JT- thanks
ET- funny, we are on the same page
Already set out the sandpaper :)
Lil more paint to go (eyes n back details)

Awesome brother!

WOW WOW WOW, how funny to read this today. Dan just said he wanted to put our tacky tourist tikis outside to age them and I said let's spray paint time and wire brush them.

This tiki is so wonderful. I have 3 black velvets to do based on these tikis for the Wish List. Now we all want your tiki too!

Good job. I love it. Wendy

Thanks CY

Hi Wendy
That's funny
I know you like coincidences
:)

Did you work on aging yours yet?

Done with the back paint
Next is the "aging" process

Cheers

So many projects so little time. I told Dan he gets to age them. I'll let you know if he ever does it.

Very nice brother Jon!

You know what, a few years in the heat and rain and it will look like the Disney tikis. You did a wonderful job of carving and painting.
Your yard is wonderful. Someday we will come again and visit you and Janelle and we'll tour your tiki spaces again. Wendy

Thanks Cy
Thanks Wendy

Wendy- tell Cy to drive here and pick you guys up on the way
